“LEGENDARY” Perfect World Giveaway – Heaven’s Tear Server

It’s hard to believe that it has only been a little over a year since PWI opened its lands to us. I was one of the first to venture forth and I always enjoyed myself. For quite a time I spent more time in this world than the one not connected to the Internet. I hesitate to use terms like “the real world” because for many of us our characters are merely extensions of our own personalities and the time we spend in game, the relationships we forge, and the fun is very real.

A few months ago I took a “hiatus” from PWI and thought I might come back in time. The honest truth is that I have a bit of an addictive personality and when I am somewhere, I am 100% there, and when I’m not… well… I’m not there at all. I’m also not a collector of things except memories; I don’t like to have mementos that get all dusty… I hate dust. As another summer winds down and a new school year approaches I realize that with teaching and my unwired life I won’t have the time to pursue PWI in the addictive fashion I once did. Since I do things either all the way or not at all, sadly “not at all” is the reality.

Some people leave games in flames and criticism. My dad got me started in gaming when I was 11 and I have tried to always leave the multitude of worlds I have inhabited with that hope that any memories of me were good ones. I think PWI is a legendary sort of place and as such deserves a legendary departure. So, for those who will indulge me, I have devised one last bit of PWI fun for myself along with suitable rewards for those who help me in my final PWI quest… The Quest for Fan Fiction!

In my time in PWI, I was a bit of a squirrel. I looted everything, sold stuff for profit, and bought very little. I amassed quite a tidy fortune in my time; all legal… there is no blemish against my name except maybe that I can be a bit of a witch (feel free to substitute rhyming words that fit!). All told I have 75 million gold COINS to give away.

I apologize that my wealth is limited to Heaven’s Tear, but that’s where it is. I will be cross posting on the Heaven’s Tear forum but I posted in the main one because some people don’t check the server forums all the time.

I hope this will be a fitting farewell to everyone I have known, loved, disliked, argued with, fought alongside, etc. Whether we got along or not, everyone who plays made my time in PWI a richer experience and I adore you all. Thank you for a wonderful year and I hope in some small way to be remembered. May my hard-earned gold buy a few pretty trinkets for those who win the bounty of my quest!

RULES:

1) Entries are limited to 1 per screen name. I have no way to know whether multiple screen names belong to the same person, so that’s just how it is.
2) Entries must be original fan fiction either short story or poem that deals with PWI. Feel free to include characters, monsters, players; even me… mentions of the wonder of me could enhance judging so long as it doesn’t diminish the quality of the work!
3) I am the sole judge and my decision of winners is the only one that matters as far as who gets my money.
4) Entries MUST be posted ONLY to the thread on Heaven’s Tear forum, NOT the main PWI forum.
5) Entries must be submitted by Wednesday August 19, 2009 and prizes will be awarded no later than Saturday August 22, 2009.
6) Entries will not be used by me for anything except my own enjoyment; you retain all rights to your work.

PRIZES:

FIRST PRIZE – 20 MILLION GOLD
SECOND PRIZE – 15 MILLION GOLD
THIRD PRIZE – 12.5 MILLION GOLD
FOURTH PRIZE – 10 MILLION GOLD
FIFTH PRIZE – 7.5 MILLION GOLD
SIXTH PRIZE – 5 MILLION GOLD
SEVENTH PRIZE – 2.5 MILLION GOLD
EIGHTH PRIZE – 1.5 MILLION GOLD
NINTH PRIZE – 1 MILLION GOLD

I hope some of you have fun with this, I sure hope to. And thank you all again for enhancing my online home… seriously, thank you!

Dagny

    *brushes dust off her writing pen*

    So for the story bit...Is there a page limitation for it, or can I write like, a 500 pages PWI novel? b:laugh

    Will there be points deducted for making grammar mistakes, spelling errors and whatnot? Or can the whole story be like, a gigantic wall of text?

    Well, time for this old coot to get some creative-ness going!

    All things being equal, proper grammar and a pleasing presentation would win out. Your story can be as long as it takes to say what you have to say. I'm a high school teacher so I'm looking for substance over quantity. If it takes 500 good pages to tell your story, go for it... if it takes 2 pages to tell the story that works too. Entertain me, just don't make me sleepy... unless you're brushing my hair, but that's not part of the contest.

    Is your high school teacher 23 and about 5'3" 105 lbs? If so you may win, but I might have to call your mom *winks*
